pysiri - A Python interface to Siri
Last week, the guys at Applidium posted an article on their blog with the technical details to the Siri HTTPS server (the blog post has since been taken down).

Boxee Box NFO file creator
The Boxee Box is a great piece of hardware. The main thing I use it for is streaming local content from my network.
